This is a famous ballet, Ian, and has been regularly staged by most of the world's great ballet companies - I must have see it eight or nine times over the years. The leading man, James, is always kilted (at least he is by tradition) as are his friends in the story.

Last year I saw a modern-dress version of the ballet in which the men were dressed in kilts, T-shirts, scrunched down hose and boots - yes, they danced in boots! The only concession made to it being a ballet was that the dancers sporrans were attached to their kilts - a Health and Safety directive no doubt, to prevent serious injury!!

Here are a few images I found on the Internet:
